Mariah Makes a Move on Elvis and the Beatles. She now has 16 number one hits. The article says that only the Beatles and Elvis have had more, making her the most successful female performer of all time. I don't believe that summary is entirely fair, because it requires us to treat Diana Ross's two careers as two separate acts. Diana had twelve number one hits with The Supremes, and then six more as a solo artist, giving her 18 altogether. I guess it would be fair to call Mariah the most successful female SOLO performer.

To give Mariah more credit, she wrote or co-wrote most of her hits.
